  Do you really think the OP is actually on twitter, curating these fine screencaps for us themselves?

    Stop sharing censored posts then? I’m tired of all these fucking cowards giving in to bullshit censorship.

      I understand what you’re saying.

      However, if artifacts from a screenshot’s trip around the web is the worst thing that’s happened to you this week, maybe consider how lucky you are.

      Or maybe something bad has happened. Have you had a bad week or month and it’s coming out here? It’s ok to admit it when we’re scared or afraid. Fear is the mind killer, after all. Fear makes us act in irrational ways.

      Like calling a bot account that shares twitter screenshots a fucking coward giving in to bullshit censorship because a script pulls images from a site somewhere else that cares about that kind of thing.

        I’m more concerned with the original censorship than the bot propagating it. It’s showing humans are being convinced to align with a campaign of self regulation that aligns with, in my opinion, a dim and sad future driven by puritans at best or authoritarians at worst.

      How about you start sharing what you want to see on Lemmy then? You posted 30 posts in almost 3 years… LadyButterfly creates like 40% of content on this platform.

    I think butterfly has a script that uploads, which is why sometimes their script fails and you get garbleposts/images

    Why would you post something that’s been censored?

      There’s literally a whole thread about this in here.

  I hope they start censoring the words with tiny versions of the word that they’re censoring

    This is an acceptable alternative, family friendly and maliciously compliant in the same breath

  You have a right to curse on the internet.

  They have the right to censor their own post.

  I don’t get why so many people get actually angry about this.

    I think they aren’t happy with people self-censoring their posts to please an algorithm. It’s not about their right to self-censor but users feel they have to do it to avoid penalties when they should not have to. Those mild forms of self-censorship are only the beginning. On Youtube you can already see people re-inventing newspeak by replacing ordinary words like “killed” with “unalived” to avoid algorithmic penalties. That’s fucked up.

      btw, newspeak was inspired by esperanto, because george orwell didn’t like it. you know who else didn’t like esperanto? adolf hitler.

      source

      • RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        And your conclusion is? Anyone who does not like newspeak is literally hitler?

      Yes, this is exactly it. Personally I’m so sick of watching otherwise interesting YouTube videos where the creator uses stupid euphemisms for everything. The corporate mandated sanitisation of the major internet platforms is nightmarish.

      Thank fuck for platforms like this where there is no algorithm to please and where you can say what you mean.

      Yeah, it’s pretty terrible. There’s a political podcast I was starting to listen to, and the guy on it was talking about how the Venezuelans Trump sent to CECOT were sexually assaulted: he said "They were graped!"

      I was like "Did this motherfucker actually say graped?" Yes, yes he did. Obviously, I couldn’t keep listening after that. What the fuck is wrong with people?

      I’d agree if we were on an algorithm site. Be mad at the site for repressing free speech.

      But we’re on the Fediverse. It’s poster’s choice.

      If you don’t want to see something, just block it and make your own.

        I’m not mad at anyone. You said you can’t understand why people are angry about this and I wanted to help ^^

  It’s deliberate, it’s just engagement bait.

  • GreenShimada@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Not to get all conspiracy theorist, but the poster does a lot of posting of twitter posts, usually screenshots that often show both light mode and dark mode. Indicating that they are not actually on twitter themselves, but are getting the screencaps from somewhere else.

    It’s far more likely that Lady Butterfly isn’t intentionally rage-baiting you by censoring words to foil text recognition, but is getting screen caps and posting them on Lemmy to our benefit from a source that is concerned with text recognition and getting an NSFW tag.

    This isn’t worth getting worked up about if you just think about it for literally 2 seconds.

    • EvenOdds@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Agreed, the censorship comes from the original source, not the poster on Lemmy - and the original source is the one responsible for the engagement bait.
